I don't mean to say he was going to merry the same wife over again, but the late la - wonted Mrs. P.P., havingthree years ago left this world for a better, he was about to take to his bosom a secorid one,, who 811010 cheer his declireing years, support him when he grew feeble,and rub his head with a week solution of brandy and alcohol whenever it was needed. With this end in view, he hacl fixed upon the person of Mrs. Trips, the widow of a master mariner, fair, fat and forty ; but, al- beit, who bad so charmed the heart of the susceptible Mr. P by the brilliancy of her wit, the sedativeness of her manners, and the amorousness of her glances till, as his own daughter Emma, Aged twelve, said, "Papa would stand upon his very eyebrows if she, meaning Mrs. T., "wished him to." Thinking of the approaching ceremony kept Mt Parker Potts meek° half the night, and then woke him up early ; for, try as he would, he could not keep the thoughts of to -morrow's festivities out of hie head. Re repeated to himself all that his chsrming Ada had said to him when they parted at the door at 10 phi. He tried to imagine how he would look when he walked down the aisle, with the beautiful creature hangnig blushingly on his arm; and he pictured him- self snubbing that man Snigger, who had .seitl when he spoke of getting married, that "no one buten old fright would have him," and laatly, he rehearsed the wedding break- fast, and saw himself responding to the toasts of the assembled guests. Yes, there it was all laid out in the room below. The table decorated. with pots of ferns and flowers. The old silver he had borrowed front his Aunt Sarah looking like the family plate of an earl; the spoons ad ferks (hired for the occaelon) bright and glittering, together with the out glass-evaie and Dresden china, as delicate as it was beautiful, How pleased he was he had. taken Ma's anvice, to have it all made ready the night before. It was even ' as she hinted --.they had nothing to do but to get married. How pleased she was, too, when he pro- posed to borrow his aunt's silver. "Not that it will make me love you any more, dear she had said, "but it will make mr friends think you are a man of substance, and these worlds seemed to tickle and ring in Mr. P.'s ears, till he borrowed, and bought, and hired all the silver he could lay his hands on -vowing that her friends, who by-theeby, he had never yet seen, shoulki think him if not quite a Lord Mayor, very nearly one -so the table groaned beneath the weight of its massive ornaments. Then he thought of when and where he'd first met -Mrs. T. Dear me ! he'd ouly known her three weeks; but then as the poet says: --" Love is aot measured by time, and as lens as the neighbors didn't know, what did it matter.' He recalled how tenderly she had laid her head on hie shoulder and cried -yes! actually cried, when be asked her to be his rosebud, and a great joy took' posses- sion of his heart, which thumped, and beat and rattled against his ribs as he thought how enviouseertain of his maleacquaintan °es would be. And. then Mr. P. feels he can stay in bed. no longer -he must be up and doing, and see that bus clothes are all ready; call Emma and the servant, and make them, for the twentieth time, brush the carpets, the hall and the stairs. So just as the light comes streaming in at his bedroom window, and Big Ben rings out the hour of six, he bounces from his couch, and, arraying him- self in his checked dressing -robe and 'Carpet slippers, proceeds to carefully again go over his wardrobe, and having satisfied himself Untied' there is in order, he thinks he will go and have another peep at the breakfast - room. In a minute he is in the hall -in half a minute he is at the door, He turns the key -for Mr, P. was wise in his generation, and always locked bis doors -he twists the handle, and enters. But, Heavens I what is this! He clutches the door, he sinks back against the wall, his legs almost refuse to support him; for instead of the handeomely appointed table, laid out ready for the wedding breakfast, as he had left it the night before -instead of the carefully ar- ranged room, with its sideboards and dishes and ornaments-ita new Turkey carpets and rugs and pictures -he sees a table bare but for a few china plates. A sideboard destitute of all save its cloth audits mirror, and a room the picture of utter disorder, carpets ripped up, chairs turned over, paper and cardboard about the floor -in short, a wreck, and all his treasures gone. For several minutes Mr. P. does not move -he cannot! He only leans help- lessly against „ the wall, and turns pink and blue in the face by turns. Then slowly he recovers himself. He rusaes franbically to the bell; pulls it till the whole paraphernalia comes down on the top of him; shouts with all the force he can muster: " Emma! Mary! Burglars! Thieves! Maty! Emma -Thieves! Burg- lars 1!" and collapses on the sofa in the midst of his shattered hopes. - II. When the household at No. 2, Calton Villa -to use a phrase-" picked themsel- ves up," the first thing they thought of was the police. Mr. P., by the aid of brandy and alcohol, applied this time, not externally to his heed but internally to his throat had now recov- ered some of his usual dignity, and with his hands thrust deep into the pocket of his dressinglown, is saying to the women folks: "tow, you idiots, don't stand gaping about as if you were looking for a lot of this to swallow! You, Mary, put on your hat and go ard fetch the firsteepoliceman you can find; and you, Emma, waib hem ; I shall want you to take -ahem I -a letter to Mrs. Trips -ahem I. -she must be told of this unfortunate occurance. But before Mary has time to leave the house, and before ha has commenced his note, there is a knock at the front door, followed by a sharp ring at the bell. "Go and see who that is," instructs Mr. P. ; so Emma goes to the door, but returns quickly, "It's a gentleman to see ,you, fabher- here's his card. Why, see!' reading out, "he's Mr. Hamilton Twig, Inspector of Police." "Dear me l dear me I" said the little man ; "how extraordinary! I wonder how he heard of it already; just the very man we want to see, though. Show him in Emma, and tell Mary she need not now send for a policeman," So Mr. Hamilton Twig is ush- ered into the room. I"Good morning 1" he says affably. "So you had burglars last night ?" "Good morning !" anSIVOTS Mr. Parker Potts, looking at the upright form before him, wearing &peak cap, and an official blue coat, beneath which Mr. P. fancies he gees , bus badge of office, "bub, dear me, how chd you flied outso soon?" " Oh" said the napeeter knowingly," we heard all about before you' were up. You see we keep a sh trp look -Mit around thi• s neighborhood. Why, we've got <me of the fellows that had a hand in it up at the ste,tion now, and we shall bare the other oue before the day's out. I've come to have a look round the premises, with your per- mission, sir' and see what they've left and how bey got in. Here Mr. P, fairly jumped off his feet. To think they'd caught one of the thieves al- ready-e-theu he might get all his ailver even now.. Well head always believed in the power of the law, but now he'd believe in bis more than ever. " Certaiely ! certainly !" he replied, with cheerful alacrity, "see anywhere -every- where; and here, Mary," he calls, "bring this gentlemen the decanter of brandy, it's raw cold out, I know," Then, when the inspector has had his glass, he accompanies him over the house, and they find that the thieves have been nowhere only in the one MOM. " Seems to me," said the official, drily. when they returned to the scene of the rob. bery, "that the thieves knew everything valuable W&S put in here. Then, note -book in hand, he examines 'the window -catches, the door fastenings and the chimney, and makes what he calls his diagnosis of the case, and tells Mr. P. very confidingly how and where the thieves got bit; finishing by saying again, "we'll have the other fellow, and all the silver beforeyou are inany days older -only, my dear sir, keep your own counsel -don't speak of it, and don't let your servants speak of it -leave the matter entirely in our hands." And he tidos one more walk around the room. Suddenly ut- tering an exclamation of apparent burprise and pouncing on a aupboard he had not uot- iced before, he opens it and drags out a am all clothes basket fall of lots of the ail - ver ware the thieves had evidently not been able to es.rry away. "Ah !"gasps Mr, l'„ his eyes brighten- ing up at the sight of emu* of his treasure. Thought so, cooly says the inspector -" they were dieturbed and made off with what they could carry, intending to oome back for this afterwards." Minims Mr. P., "1 was awake a lot last night -they must have heard me and. inwardly he bleesea his dear Ada, for wasn't it thinking of her that 'prevented hien sleeping? Now,' says the inspector, " this is an important discovery, for here is one of the rascal' e handkerchiefs and a putty knife. This basket twist go right up to the police. station as it is; we shall be able to identify and convict them by it, You'd better count the pieces that are there." So Mr. 1'. goes down au his knees, counts the spoons forks' and other things the bur- glars had left behind, and receives a receipt for them in the inspector's own handwrit- ing -who calls to his man at the door and gives him the basket with instructions in a loud voice to take it up to the police - station and wait there till he comes -and now he tures to hit up his hat and bid good-bve to Mr. 2. " ?au had better not go out to -day, sir," he says. "It is posaible your presence may be necessary up at the police.court but send yen a note down before twelve. In the mean time, my dear sir -not a word I not a word;" "But, ahem 1 ahem—. I was going to be mearted to -day," breaks out Mr. M. P., "80 it is Impossible for me to stay in." "Whitt thne does the ceremony take place, sir?" aaks the inspeetor. "Twelve o'clock," replies the other. "Ah 1 you are the gentlemen who is marrying that very chartnieg lady Mrs. Trips, then. I knew her well at one time. I will send you down word, say by eleven o'clock; bet don't go uutil yon hear from me ;" and raisiug Ins hand to his cap -the inspector is out of the house, down the stepa and gone. 111 Five minutes after, Mr. Parker Potts sits down to write a note to his Ada, to tell her what luts happened, and to say that the event must not make any difference to the wedding- which letter he seals and sends at once by Emma, Somehow Mr. P. feels lighter. The ca- tastrophe is not ao great as he had at firsb supposed, and he hopes that the timely and energetic conduct of her Majesty's polite -officer will result in the restoration and recovery of the whole of the stolen property. He is just about to shout for Mary to bring him some breakfast, when, hark ! another ring at the bell, and Mary co:nes in to say there is another police -inspector wishes to see him. "Another inspector !" ejaculates Mr. P. "1 wonder what he wents ; show him in," and a second oflicial enters the room, not unlike the kat, one, exceptthere is a number on his coat.and badge and on his cap, and, strange to say, he almost repeats the same words. "Yes!" answers Mr. P., as, After saying good niorning the new coiner remarkes he has heard there were burglars in the house last night, "yes ! I suppose the inspeetor's told you all about it, ' but wondering at the same time what tees one has come for. "I don't understand you," said the offi- cial in the blue cost a littly sternly, cast- ing his eyes around the room and taking in its details at aeglance. "Here is my card," and Mr. P. reads for a seeond time that morning: MB. HA31BLETON TWIG, Inspector of Police. C. District. " Well 1 I know that's his card. I re- peat again, I suppose you have seen him and he lfas told you all about it" I don't understand you, eine more," said the police -inspector, now really angry. " That is my name there touching the piece of pasteboard in Mr. P. s hand ; "and my men report they saw someone breaking away from this house about four o °look this morning, but they were not quick enough to catch them; but besides I can see there has been a burglary because the catches of the windows outside have been forced, and because of all this "-indicating by a sweep of the arm the disordered room and what do you mean by saying you suppose the inspector's told me I" and he thinks the little man before him has quite gone out of his mind. "1 mean that there' was another inspec- tor ot your name here, and that he said the same as you have said, mud 1 showed him over the house "; and Mr.- P. looks justly indignant, for he believes the other is trying to have a ganie with him:. This time it is the man in blue's turn to be amazed. "Someone else of my name has been here ?" he asks-" someone using my name 1" Then, of a sudden'he says ; " Tell me about it pick. What sort of a man was he ?" "Tall, with side whiskers, &coat and cap like yours," replies Mr. P.', while a feeling of doubt creeps over him. " He hada note- book, and went all over the house, and gave . I the 'haslet or silveriare the thieves left be hind. thera to hui Man to take up to the police -station. He said they Iv Mild Want it there as evidence," "Done 1 your done 1 That's clever Bill's work," shouts the inspector, bringing his fist down on the table and almost collapsing it. "Done slicker than aver; I've known him to do it before. Ahbually cantle back and fetched away with his pal whet they couldn't take overnight; but I won- der where Bess is -he general ly works works with him, Ile hadn't a woman with him ?" he aelts-and then he cannot keep it in any longer, but just laughs till the tears roll down his face to think of Bill turning inspector. All the while Mr. P. is dumb -he doesn't hear -be doesn't see -he doesn't care, Then he yells out "Don't speak to me -I don't know anything; "and in his agitation he moves his arms up and down like a wind- mill, finally sinking on the sofa " kuock- ed,' at, the inspector expressed all of a heap." Just then biters was a third ring at the door bell, a.ud a messenger hands a letter to Miley, departing as quickly as he had come. It is addressed to Parker Potts, Esq., and is in the handwriting of his Ada. • Mechanically he opens it ; rolls his eyes over the contents, drops the paper, gives a little moan, and goes off into a dead faint while the inspector, with an eye to business, picks up the note, and reads ; " DEAREST 1VIR. PARICER POTTS,- " This is to express to yen our joint ap- preciation of your munificence and candour to the mach-honcred Mrs. Trips. But as Bigamy is nob allowable in this country, neither of us aux see how the ceremony set for to -day eau take place, and knowing that, in this case, you will not require your hired and borrowed silver, we sincerely hope you will not object to our using it for temporary purposes, "Knowing your generous disposition, we have not bothered to ask you, but have anticipated, your reply. " Thankiug you once more, dear Mr. Parker Potts. "We remain, "Yours affectionatelY, (Signed) "Ai. Teem', alias and " CrAvim. BILL, alias "IxSrECTOR g.a1uILTON Twio." "just as I thought," grunted the police officer. "Bess at it again. Ola 1 you old fool 1" The next morning the local paper contain- ed this paragraph : "We regret W announee thatMr. Parker Potts has become suddenly indisposed, and by the advice of his physicians left last night for the Canary Islands. Owing to tlods tte,lii,sm , arriage has been indefinitely post ps A Jewish Wfidding. Admission to the floor at the synagogue le by card., to the galleries by favor. The reading desk on the floor is eavered by the by the " ehuppah," or marriage baldachin°. It cousists of tour slender posts supporting a cover of richly figured silk with massive satin fringes. On each side, except the eastern, is anat.& of smilax, evergreens,and roses. TJthers are in black frock suits, and wear high silk hats. At 5 p.m. the assis- tant reader of the conghogation chants the psalm of thanksgiving in Hebrew, to which responses are made by a trained choir in the gallery. Next, the ministers, chief among whom is the venerable father of the groom, descend from the platform and approach ehe door as the bridal procession enters, Re- turning to places within the chuppale they are followed by the bride -groom, supporting his mother on his arm. The bride follows, accompanied by her mother, brother, and an old nurse, who, like those of her rime in the West Indica, is faithful in solicitous at- tendance to the last Eight little clinch en, cousins of the bride, bearing baskets of flowers ; come last. Pure white satin is the dress of the lady, who is covered with a diaphanous veil, and carries a boquet of flowers. Face to face with the bridgroom, she stands composedly, while the ritual is reed, The first cup of consecrated wine, to be tapped by groom and bride, is then presented. If the obli- gations of matrimony are not now under- stood by the quietly happy pair, it is not the fault of the officiating rabbi, whose long but sterling address in English is punctuett ed by apt Hebrew quotations, Wifely and husbandly chilies are set forth with great force and precision. The officiating minis- ter then takes a glass of wine in his hand and pronounces t te seven prescribed ben- edictions. Bridegrootn and bride taste the wine, and thus symbolize participation in the joys ani pains of earthly life. The wedding ringh-plain and unadorned, as the emblem of simple contentment, perfectly weeded, as signifying concord in endless union -is placed on the bride's finger by the groom, with the words, "Behold thou art conseerated unto me by this ring, ac- cording to the law of Moses and of Israel. Reading the "Kethubali," or marriage con- tract, as formulated by the fathers, is omit- ted, for the sufficient reason that it has already been subscribed in private. Now comes an interesting performance on the part of the newly wedded husband. The goblet from which he and his wife have drunk is deposited one the floor, and by his foot is crushed into a thousand frag- ments, and thee with a vim that speaks eloquently of his resolve to put his foot on any and all evils that may enter the family circle until deeth shatters it. The first kiss under the new relation is then given, the bridegroom offers his ann to his spouse, and with a proud air of responsibility leads the willing yokefellow from chuppah to entrance, and thence home to the wedding feast. Distress in Vienna. All classes in Vienna now realise the grav- ity of the distress in the city ; subscriptions continue to pour in, and many expedients are being resorted to in order to aid the charitable movement. At Tuesday's dis- tribution of bread outside the office of the frolkspresse, many piteous scenes were wit- nessed. Out of a crowd of 12,000 men and women who assembled, only 8000 could be provided with loaves. On it becoming known that the supply was nearlyex haust- ed those who had received nothing raised a perfect yell of disappointment, and began struggling furiously with one another to get near the building before the last loaves had gone. When there were no more to be obtained the people seemed. to lose all con- trol of thereselves, and behaved like man- iacs. The police inducedthe erowd to depart n an orderly manner. ..411011•4111110.—i The Indolent Gardener, Mrs. Suburb-" No more milk? What's She matter ?"

QIUIELTY AND ABSIT.RDITY OE t THE OHKE-REIN. Mei itlee'ree 'Taunt, or Toronto, has eata dressed the Following Loiter to tire lEditore-- Stn, -,t understand &commission has been appointed by the Provincial Government to consider the emeation of " deborniug cattle." and at a meeting of the Humane Society held last week it was decided to ask the Attorney -General to consent to the commis- sion considering the question ot "docking of horses," I regret exeeedingly that the motion did not else inelude the "bearing or check rein." I would, with your kind considera. tion, mention a few facts touching upon the "bearing rein." If it will not induce the Attorney -General to admit the question for consideration, by the commission it may be the means of some " one " giving tip such a useless, paid at many times, a mostbarbarous practice. More so, as the summer will soon be here, when the poor liersea will suffer more from its use than in winter. I often wonder whether anyone who uses the bearing rein ever imagined or thought about the structured which enable the horse to hold its head up without fatigue. We could not do it, if we were placed on all fours; we should soon find our heads droop- ing from sheer exhaustion. If we place a hand on the back of our neck and bend the head forward we shall feel a strong ligament. If the akin be re- moved from the neck of a human being this ligament ie seen to be cork -like and not to present any very remarkable peculiarity of structure. Ims the horse, however, it is de- veloped into a. most wonderful elastic mech- anism ; lapping over the back of the neck it throws out a set of projections, each of which is fastened. to one of the vetelerae of the neck in such a manner, that while it gives support to that particular vertebra, it works simultaneously with the others. Thus it is that the horse can toss or shake its head, turn it round, or depress it to its knees, and restore to its normal position, The weight of the head and neck is con- siderable, and by their movements the bal- ance of the body is materially aided; e. g., in walking up e eteep hill the horse, when free, throws its head and neck well forward, sons to keep the weight as much as possible in front of the fore feet. In descending the hill the horse throws ite head ea far back as it ow, so as to throve the weight behind the fore feet. Man, however, is pleased to farther this freedom of action looks mean and spir- itless, and that a horse ought to held As head up, no matter whether he is going up hill, down hill, standing sal, walking, trotting, galloping, sick or well. The bear. Ing -main certainly causes a sheer waste of power; it seems like the horse pulling itself along as well as tho load behind. Anyone possessed of a little common sense and a nio. ment of thought must know that a horse cannot throw itself into the collar, and is obliged to draw a carriage by the muscle of the legs instead of the weight of the body, it cannot exorcise ite full strength. $o many people really think and believe tho bearing -rein is a guard against aural), ling and a sure preventive of falling, but anyone who has been driving and had their horse fall will know that in almost every case,the bearing -rein will be broken, the in- stinctive flinging forward of the heed break- ing the leather as if it were a piece of string ; sometimes the hook is pulled out of the saddle, and when we remember that the force was exerted upon the sensitive mouth of the horse, it is certain proof that gross cruelty is added to extreme folly. Some people think the bearing -rein gives to the horse such a noble appearance; yon look at the horse champing the bit, flinging foam right and left, tossing its head, rat- tlieg the harness, and feel sure that the horse is acting in the pride of its own strength and fulness of apirit No, it is suffering untold agony, and is trying to gain some relief by timing its head and rattling the harness. Who over sew a horse champ and foamn at the mouth when at liberty, or who ever saw a horse free in the field place its fore and. hind feet apart, curve its body backwards and hold its headabove its shoulders. Yet this is what yea see every day with the bearing -rein when standing in the streets, In fact it is the horses trying to contracb the spine as much as possible,so as to relieve the intolerable pressure on the month. I am glad to know that Tier Majesty Queen Victoria has ordered that not only the bearirg-rein is to be disused on Her Ma- jesty's horses, but that everyone-bigla or low -who has any reason for calling upon Her Majesty, must not come using in any aha.pe or form a bearing -rem. It will be the means of lessening its use, not only in England, but also in Canada. But there are some who will only tease the cruel practice when the law says they must du so, and now is a goo& time to corsider the question and frame such laws as may be necessary. °tains Inbident at a Weddinc. On Saturday afternoon, at Stook - port Parish Church, an unusual in- cident occurred. At 2.30 a wed- ding party, consisting of six persons took their seats in the church, but remain- ed the sole ocenpants of the edifice till close on three o'clock, when a cabman hurried off to the house of nne ot the church officials, and informed him of the condition of affairs. The official was soon in attendance, in a state of considerable excitement, but he was unable to warn any of the clergy of the need for their services ere the hour of three struck and the weeping bride and a very irate gentleman of the party appeared to take the unexpect- ed aspect of affairs very much to heart, as, duly edorned with choice fiot.al speci- mens, and dressed in the most careful fash- ion the party drove away, amidst a fire of gond-humoured " thaff" front a crowd of persons who bad got wind of the incident whilst milking their purchases in the crowd- ed markeb close by. It was evident that somebody had blundered," and it was ad- mitted that the fault lay with a church offi.- Mal in not "booking" the notification of the wedding handed in by the bride herself during the week. On Sunday morning the wedding was duly solemnised. A Dying Woman Attacked by _Rats. A shocking occurrence was reported from Lisburn, England, on Seturday. Smithfield Court is infested by rats, and in a house there was an aged woman who was bed -rid. - den. This compelled her to take her food where she lay, and the rodents, smelling the crumbs at her head, became very trouble- some, The woman was in the habit of say- ing that the rats would come and eat the crumbs, and ultimately attack her head. Her prediction was verified, for three-quar- ters of an hour before she died the hungry animals, in the absence of the woman's re- • latives, entered the bed aud commenced to gnaw the poor ceature's right cheek and nose. On the return ether son and his wife Shay were horrified to see what had heppen- ed. The woman shortly afterwards expired. At the wake a skin plaster was placed over the wounds.
